I used to be a proponent of going metric, but now am quite happy leaving everything alone. That came with the realization that all systems are equally convenient, just different. e.g. while metric is easy to work with orders of magnitude, imperial is much easier to divide or multiply by 2.

This was more true when aged liquor was bottled full strength. These days most is watered down at the bottling plant to a consistent 80 proof (40%).

There is quite a difference between .03% blood alcohol and 0.3%. The former would not impair most humans. The latter would put many in the hospital.
